This is a nice place to hang out during the late afternoon. A lot of locals gather here and the place has a semi festival feel to it. The water in the lake are far from being clean, so don't even think of getting in. While it IS a walking distance from the rock garden, a tuk-tuk will do the... More

Sukhna lake is a nice evening spot...you could do a lot of activities here like boating, rides for kids, camel ride, small eating joints and just going for a nice walk at the lake...its crowded in evening but you will enjoy hanging out here..

Early morning and late evening walks. Peace. Cleanliness. This place is best if you want to spend some time with the nature in a busy city.

The perfect location for spending a relaxed evening, feeding ducks and enjoying boating in the lake, or even taking long evening walks.

Great to chill out and hang with the locals as they drift around on their holidays. Lake with peddalos, couple of gift shops and a cafe, few little rides for young ones. Nothing special, just ordinary Indian life at its best. Spend an hour or so here if your passing.
